D1, what are the things you look for when you close manually or move SL above +/- 0?

D1, what are the things you look for when you close manually or move SL above +/- 0?
hi peter,

i have no rigid rule. i look at candles, pivots, macd, sma100.
in most cases i move sl to be when position is at +10.

looking at todays trading history i think it´s due to psychology:
+-0/-10/+30/+-0/+30/+-0/-10/+10/+10

when i´m not 100% confident with an open position, i look for reasons to close a.s.a.p.
i´m only human, not a machine

Fdax (30 min)

Could be a double bottom on 30 min. chart.. now trend is changing slowly towards north again.. time for a real gap close of today morning.. it was not closed properly..

Beware (around 9800 a third test towards 9711 can still happen)

That we must consider the risk and improvisation is very important in this business. Here 2 + 2 can not be equal to 4
